If you struggle creating curls with hair straighteners or wands, this is a fantastic tool! Takes a bit of playing around to get the hang of it but once you do, it's easy to use and the curls that come out are perfect and really smooth.
Love that it's cordless! The battery life is really good (45 mins) and allows plenty of time to complete your hair styling. Easy to charge and charges relatively quickly too.
Really like the option to automatically mix up the direction the curls go in and that the different heat settings and times create different types of curls.
I was a little worried when I first tried this that my hair was going to get tangled in the barrel but I pleasantly surprised to find that if it does start to tangle or there's too much hair pulled into the barrel, it reverses and spits your hair back out.
I felt like a kid on Christmas Eve, opening presents! Upon opening the box, I noticed the curler's lovely purple color, wow! It looks luxurious with the gold trimmings and buttons and "Unbound" written in cursive on the side. It's so good-looking! Included I found a travel case, fancy and good quality. It is a hard strong case in a nice blue color with a gold zip. On the curler, it instructs you to charge overnight before first use. I made sure the comb my hair through to ensure there are no knots. I only added a heat treatment and nothing else. After switching it on, you have a choice of heat settings, you can choose how long you want it to curl for and even choose which direction to curl your hair. I chose "mix" which just sounded easier. I chose the lowest heat and shortest time as I have thin hair. I took a section of my hair and held the curler next to it. I pressed the big button and it began to slurp up my hair, I started panicking! What if it gets caught in there? Well, I tell you, that never happened. I did section by section and it took the hair effortlessly and produced beautiful curls. It took me less than 15 minutes to do my whole head of hair. My hair didn't hold the curls for long so after a while I found they just fell flat, I quickly grabbed my portable curler and stood in front of the mirror in the lounge where I was, and re-did it. Sprayed some hair spray, which helped to hold the curls. Gosh, I love this! I could even take this to work with me and redo curls during the day if I needed, so handy. I would definitely recommend this to a friend as it does what it claims and it is of high quality.
